Well I knew it wouldn't be long,now it is the GA flag being talked about. But listen to the logic. In the video the guy says would you feel safe walking into a room filled with swastikas, well I ask would a white man feel safe walking into a room filled with black folks, yes the NBPP is screaming to kill white babies and yelling white peoples blood needs to fill the street's , where is the racism.

As I have said numerous times racism needs to be forgotten, this is the year 2015 not 1965, but as I have also said numerous times Obama has taken us back to some very dark days. Why should one side keep giving up as the other keeps growing and growing, heck if we are going to allow either side their hatred then both should have it.

And then you have to wonder how many times are we going to keep changing things for one group of people, we took the flag off of the state house in SC 15 years ago for the blacks but now that isn't good enough, 12 years ago we changed the GA flag and again now that isn't good enough, are we to just keep changing until America is one big Ghetto ? I guess time will tell.



Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said it may be time to consider even more changes to Georgia’s state flag.
The ex-Georgia congressman told NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday (http://nbcnews.to/1IlEJYZ)that he joined with Democrats in 2001 calling for the Confederate battle emblem to be shrunk, and that it “may well be changed now that people are into a new cycle.” But he also questioned the decision of major retailers to ban the sales of Confederate memorabilia, saying it’s akin to erasing history.

Georgia’s flag, adopted in 2003, is modeled after the first flag of (http://www.netstate.com/states/symb/flags/ga_flag.htm)the Confederate States of America (http://www.netstate.com/states/symb/flags/ga_flag.htm), adding the state seal in the upper-left quadrant. But it removed all remnants of the battle emblem that had been featured on the flag since the 1950s.
Gingrich is the latest prominent voice to question symbols of Georgia’s Confederate heritage in the wake of the murders of nine black worshippers at a Charleston church by a white man who told police he wanted to start a race war. Democrats are urging the state (http://politics.blog.ajc.com/2015/06/24/a-confederate-license-plates-deep-roots-in-georgia-law/) to quit celebrating Confederate Memorial Day and Confederate Heritage Month, and the state has stopped selling license plates (http://politics.blog.ajc.com/2015/06/26/how-georgias-sons-of-confederate-veterans-plans-to-counter-attacks-against-our-heritage/) with the battle emblem after Gov. Nathan Deal announced a “redesign” of the tags. (http://politics.blog.ajc.com/2015/06/23/nathan-deal-wants-redesign-of-confederate-license-tags/)
